Got given 5 laps of Mercedes Benz track in one of these as a passenger at a corporate day today. Quickish, but the brakes were amazing!
580BHP, 7 speeds 1600kg!

Nice one Jim, I guess you're making an understatement with the quickish moniker!

Paul, not sarcasim actually, I know unusual for me!
It didn't feel THAT quick, Wiki gives
The SLS AMG is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 3.8 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 211.3 mph (340.1 km/h) (figures are provisional).[66] In a Car and Driver test, the SLS recorded a quarter mile time of 11.7 seconds @ 125 mph (201 km/h).[67]
I think it might be its weight, but I didn't think it felt that quick. cornering G forces were pretty high though. The brakes were amazing the guy hit the pedal & it stood on its nose & stopped! They were obviously driving them pretty hard as they were cooling tyres off in the water splash & on the skid pan.
